Click here for audio of the interview
I had my first project-related interview today with a regular Axis church attender. He has been going to the Axis for over a year and feels very at home in the body. I'm keeping him anonymous.
My field notes are pretty illegible, so instead of taking a picture and uploading it, I'll paraphrase and type my notes in here. The audio clip above is the complete interview, so all of this information is taken from our 10-minute conversation.
WHAT IS A PASTOR? | oversees, looks out for church, over spiritual wellbeing of church
QUALITIES? | deeply in love with Jesus, leader, organized, run things
ROLES/DUTIES? | Preparing sermons, building disciples (see leaders in people - Great Commission), delegate duties, structure of church
EXPERIENCE WITH PASTORS? | 18 years old, pastor was behind-the-scenes, only on stage, only on Sunday, next church: pastor way more personal, engaging
ROLE MODEL? | 100% supposed to be role model, Paul says, "Be imitators of me" and God, strong person, strong Christian
AXIS PASTOR - QUALITIES? | personal, talking, loves community and neighborhood, coaches basketball in neighborhood, great guy
ROLES? | living out what he preaches, sharing gospel, spend time with people
HOW HAS HE INFLUENCED YOU? | every week - sermons influence me, truth in Bible, makes me wanna go out into community, can see the benefits of this
AND IN THE CHRISTIAN WALK? | appreciation for journaling, note-taking, underlining, engaging more
So there it is in a nutshell - I'm looking forward to interviewing more people from the Axis and especially the pastor himself.
